** [[spoiler:Khal Drogo]] is killed along with the other Dothraki Khals in chapter 10, which not only allows Dany to gain control of the khalasar but also hatch her dragon eggs.

** Myranda isn't thrown off of Winterfell's walls. Instead she lasts long enough to get incinerated by Daenerys and her dragons when they have their BigDamnHeroes moment.

** Viserys isn't killed with molten gold. Instead [[spoiler:he's decapitated in the royal reparation trials]].

* DiscOneFinalBoss: The VillainTeamUp of Ramsay and Viserys. They're the first major antagonists that Jon and Daenerys take on, but are defeated in Chapter 26 of what turns out to be an ''over 100 chapter'' story. For the rest, the plot is driven by the heroes' conflicts with Joffrey and the Night King.

** [[spoiler:Unlike her show version, Cersei merely remarks that she was wrong about the valonqar prophecy and tells Jaime to kill her]].

* LastOfHisKind: Arya becomes the last of [[spoiler: the Faceless Men after Jon wipes out the rest in retaliation for the attempt on his family.]]

** Ramsay and Viserys trying to have Jon killed may have temporarily left him dead, but Melisandre's talents not only resurrect Jon, they give birth to more dragons and released Jon from the Watch, allowing him to go after the two, bringing their plans to an end.
** [[spoiler: Joffrey sacrificing Myrcella in an attempt to kill Jon leads Dany to fly beyond the wall to rescue Jon's group, ensuring the group's survival while also exposing her to the Others. Something Dany previously did not believe existed.]]
** [[spoiler: The Night King stabbing Jon with Longclaw is actually what creates [[FlamingSword Lightbringer]], enabling Jon to actually kill him.]]
* NomDeMom: Robb and Margarey's second son, Eddard, is set to take the Tyrell name and control of Highgarden upon reaching his majority, in order to revitalize that House. [[spoiler:Also, Brandon Reed the son of Brandon Stark and Meera Reed.]]
* NotHisSled: [[spoiler:Arya's big moment from canon of killing the Night King is repeated in Chapter 92, except in this story the Night King is immune to Valyrian steel and therefore does not die when stabbed.]]
